Urban and Water Development

For the sustainable improvement of urban functions, JICA will help enhance urban development management capabilities such as formulating medium- and long-term plans and promoting transit-oriented development (TOD) while promoting the enhancement of public transport functions to reduce traffic congestion, the development of infrastructure, and improvement of the living environment.

Regarding urban infrastructure such as waste management and water supply and sewerage systems, based on the results of cooperation to date, JICA will continue to cooperate with Zanzibar in the improvement of urban water supply and the comprehensive management of water resources. The Agency will also work to improve urban infrastructure in Zanzibar, considering the assistance provided by other donors. JICA will also consider the development of urban water supply on the mainland.

This is consistent with the JGA “Urban and regional development” and the Cluster Strategy “Cities for people,” the JGA “Environmental management,” the JGA “Sustainable water resources management and water supply,” the Cluster Strategy “Practical integrated water resources management to resolve water-related issues in the field,” the JGA “Transportation,” and the Cluster Strategy “Promotion of urban public transport.”
